Hi all,
I'm writing to let this community know that my group is looking to hire.
I am a mid-career anesthesiologist, and during my career I have worked in a number of settings, big/small, academic/private, urban/suburban.
My current practice is a gem. We are private, MD-owned, and relatively small (~10 docs and ~20 crnas). The practice has the contract at a community hospital (Ortho, OB, Bariatrics, General, Vascular, Endo, no hearts, no crani, no pedi, no trauma) near Hartford CT and ~10 outpatient locations (endo, gyn, ophtho, plastics). Our practice does tons of regional and the surgeons we work with are almost always amenable to new nerve blocks.
My practice has several strengths, but the one that stands out is what I would describe as ethics. The founding principles of the group are:
1) to treat people fairly
2) provide excellent cutting-edge care
3) achieve financial success
Many practices will say things like this, but mine is the first I have seen to actually live up to it. We were founded by physician anesthesiologists who continue to operate the practice (no private equity players pulling strings half a country away).
Two examples: I have seen first hand how my practice supports its own when surgeons step out of line. Furthermore, the practice invests in quality support staff who take care of preops, followups, benefits, credentialling, so that the MDs can focus on patient care. What is particularly remarkable is that the practice does this while maintaining a strong financial position. For example, mine is the only practice I know of that weathered COVID without cutting MD pay.
At the risk of sounding too good to be true, there is another feature of the practice that I should mention. We own a beach apartment in Hawaii and use it some fraction of the year to do locums work there, depending on interest and availability of our staff. When the apartment is vacant it is available to our staff, free of charge.
We are growing and always interested in chatting with strong candidates.
Please feel free to message me here on SDN with inquiries. I will respond to all messages within 24 hours.
